It organises competitions around the world, hosting some of the largest and most lucrative events on the esports calender. I am the lead designer & designer for a number of campaign landing page designs, as well as making incremental design updates to the ESL shop. My duties for this client is to lead the design output of landing pages for campaigns to be launched by ESL on their online shop as well as create designs and concepts. ESL have a Shopify themed based website and required that landing pages be mocked up on a regular basis to help facilitate new marketing campaigns .

They requested that the new site incorporate more of the existing branding and imagery while allowing for a quick and easy user journey. The original site was created to help them get the store up and running, and now that they had a successful business they felt that it was time for a new design.

    Carl Anthony Brown, the founder and innovator behind CROSSIP’s unique recipe, has been perfecting the ultimate non-alcoholic sensory experience for eight years. Handpicking talent from the drinks industry, the CROSSIP team are on a mission to level up. A new website was a priority. My initial effort was to improve the website, I decided to focus on specific areas that could bring a quick and effective I user journey. I started with the designs for the re-categorisation of the recipe pages and included subtle design elements from the packaging Crossip used on their bottles. I also worked with the client & developers to implement some UX improvements through the use of design hierarchy methods as part of this project to enhance the overall user experience.

    uniE621 Country Casuals
    Country Casuals is a new clothing line and brand that will have an online only store. The parent company is a well known fashion brand who already have a very successful online store as well as a high street bricks & mortar presence. They required a new website to sell a range of women’s clothes to a specific consumer audience their current brand did not target. The site is due for release in 2024. The brief was to create a new bespoke site that was to to take the best features from current online clothing E-Commerce shops. A frictionless user experience was vital as well as the ability to be easy to maintain. The clients did not want any design or functional features that would appear to be just a gimmick or a current ‘fad’ but only use features that would benefit the user flow through the site.

    uniE621 Art Republic Ecommerce site UI Design.
    Art Republic allows art lovers and collectors the opportunity to explore and purchase limited edition works of art online. They work closely with a growing community of artists and a small number of art galleries & dealers to provide a range of affordable and original art. Due to poor conversions rates, high bounce rates, and a poor user journey my role was to reverse these business critical issues for the client and enhance the user experience to allow for a frictionless user journey via a re-imagined UI design. In addition, they required a new functional requirement that would allow customers the opportunity to pick a frame, mount and glazing when purchasing a product. This new functionality would need to fit seamlessly into the checkout process without interrupting the user flow from site entry to a successful purchase. please follow this link for a more detail description as well as live examples: https://www.twine.net/signin…
